Health Services offers health care and health education to currently enrolled full-time/part-time, matriculated, undergraduate students.  The office is staffed by nurse practitioners and part-time physicians during the Academic Year.

Services

Services include visits for health concerns/illness, health maintenance/wellness information, women's health including routine gynecological exams/pregnancy issues/contraception, STI screening (male and female), Physical Exams in select situations, Tuberculosis skin testing in select situations, and specialty referral as needed.  Information about the student's care will only be shared with the student's written approval, except as required by law, and in cases of danger to the student or others. Students’ Health and Immunization Forms remain on file in the Health Services office.

Costs

Most services in Health Services are covered by the Health Services Fee billed with the tuition bill. Any laboratory tests sent out from Health Services are billed to the student's health insurance company.  The student is responsible for any additional charges not covered by their health insurance company.  Students should call their health insurance company prior to the appointment to determine if they require laboratory specimens to go to a specific laboratory company. The laboratory specimens are sent to Quest Diagnostics Labs.  Health Services does not bill your health insurance company for visits to our office or collect co-payments at the time of the office visit.
